DCB configuration

20

In release 12.1 of the Management application, you cannot perform DCB configuration on Network
OS VDX switches. You can only view Network OS switch configuration in the Management
application DCB dialog. Refer to

“Network OS switches in VCS mode”

on page 839 for more

information.

NOTE

Editable operations from the Management application on Network OS products are not supported
for this release. You must use the command line interface to configure or modify parameter on
Network OS products. For more information, refer to the Network OS Command Reference.

Beginning with Network OS 4.0, VCS mode encompasses two mode types:

Fabric cluster mode—The data path for nodes is distributed, but the configuration path is not
distributed. Each node keeps its configuration database independently.

Logical chassis cluster mode—Both the data and configuration paths are distributed. The
entire cluster can be configured from the principal node. Logical chassis mode requires
Network OS 4.0 or later.

For more information about fabric cluster mode and logical chassis cluster mode, refer to the
Network OS Administrator’s Guide and the Network OS Command Reference, versions 4.0 or later.

The term VCS mode refers to both fabric cluster mode and logical chassis cluster mode unless
otherwise indicated.

NOTE

In the Management application, a logical chassis cluster is shown without all its members; a fabric
cluster is shown with all its members.
